Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Computational Neuroscience

Neuroscience-Inspired Artificial Intelligence.

The fields of neuroscience and artificial intelligence (AI) have a long and intertwined history. In more recent times, however, communication and collaboration between the two fields has become less commonplace. In this article, we argue that better understanding biological brains could play a vital role in building intelligent machines. We survey historical interactions between the AI and neur...

AI Magazine Special Issue on Computational Sustainability Computational Sustainability and Artificial Intelligence in the Developing World

It might be thought that artificial intelligence techniques or other types of computational methods are irrelevant in countries with few technological resources. As just one example of the possibilities, however, take road traffic in cities. The chaotic and spectacular road congestion which is characteristic of developing-world cities is a microcosm of opportunities for applying AI methods. The...

Expressive AI: Games and Artificial Intelligence

In recent years, as dramatic increases in graphic sophistication began yielding diminishing returns, the technical focus in game design has been turning towards Artificial Intelligence (AI). While game AI might be considered a “purely technical” phenomenon not of interest to game designers and theorists, this paper argues that AI-based art and entertainment constitutes a new interdisciplinary a...

Artificial Intelligence (AI) versus Computational Intelligence (CI) for treatment of complexity in design

The complexity of design tasks has a number of aspects. Three of them are the vagueness of objectives, conflicting nature of objectives, as well as the large amount of possible solutions. This paper considers two major approaches addressing treatment of these complexity aspects, namely approaches based on methods from the domain of classical artificial intelligence (AI) and approaches using met...
